After the second season, the TV series "Dark Angel" was suddenly canceled without being actually finished. Many important storylines have not been concluded in time. In the end,  almost all transgenics are captured in the urban district "Terminal City" which is under siege by a superiority of military and police. Apparently, there is no escape from this situation. Moreover, it is not revealed, why Max is so inimitably interesting for "Manticore" and so dangerous for the "breeding cult".

However, three official books have been released, that should answer all open questions. While the prequel "Before The Dawn" illuminates the events that happened before the TV series, the two sequels "Skin Game" and "After The Dark" seamlessly follow on from the end of the second season. Both books are claimed to be based on the story of the unshot third season planed before cancelation of the series. All three volumes are written by Max Allan Collins who became famous after the film adaptation of his book "Road to Perdition".

Never-before-told tales of action and adventure revealing the early days of Dark Angel!

Los Angeles, 2019. Large sections of Tinseltown are in Richter-scale ruins in the aftermath of the Pulse and a devastating earthquake. Surviving among a ragtag pack of street kids, agile as a cat, and an expert thief, Max steals from the rich and gives to Moody, her mentor in crime and leader of the gang. But with no real family to speak of, Max longs for her missing "brothers and sisters" from Manticore, the covert agency with a sinister history of militaristic manipulation and control.
By chance, Max sees a news story on TV about a dissident cyberjournalist in Seattle, known to everyone as "Eyes Only". The police are searching for his accomplice, a young rebel whose image flashes on the screen. Max immediately recognizes Seth, one of her Manticore siblings. She mounts her motorcycle and hightails it north. What she rides into is an elaborate web of betrayal, greed, revenge, and selfless heroism that will only further fuel her quest to uncover the secrets of her past - and seize hope for the future...

Dark Angel - Skin Game (Volume 2)

by Max A. Collins

Language: English
Paperback: 272 pages
Verlag: Del Rey Books (February 2003)
ISBN: 034545183X

The saga of Dark Angel continues!

Someone is killing normal humans in the fog-enshrouded city of Seattle. The murders are brutal and grisly, but inside Terminal City they barely cause a ripple of concern. The transgenics who live there have problems of their own. In an area under siege by the oppressive arm of the police, the transgenics must protect their fledgling colony against the outside world - a world that eyes them with contempt and suspicion ... and will do anything to be rid of them.
As the killings escalate, Joshua comes to Max with a dire suspicion: the killer may be one of their own. Tensions are high between normal humans and transgenics, and many inside the protected City would just as soon let the humans fend for themselves. Yet Max and her inner circle know they must investigate the crimes and stop the bloodshed. Doing nothing would simply give the normals more reasons to hate. But what they discover will shock even the most jaded among them - and expose a sinister agenda that leads to an old, nefarious foe...

Furthermore, following books related to "Dark Angel" have been published: The "Eyes Only Dossier" contains four fictional cases that "Eyes Only" was working on during and before the events of the TV series.
A special issue of the German magazine "Space View" takes a deeper look at the series and its leading actress, Jessica Alba (with many large-size photos).
And finally, the "Geheime Tagebuch" (secret diary) has been published in Germany. It was apparently intended as a real diary and, thus, predominantly contains empty pages and only few information (virtually a deceptive package).

Dark Angel - The Eyes Only Dossier

by D. A. Stern

Language: English
Paperback: 192 pages
Publisher: Del Rey Books (February 2003)
ISBN: 0345451856
Dimensions: 23.2 x 18.8 x 1.4 cm

Seattle ca. A.D. 2020 A post-Pulse city crawling with cops on the take, crooks on the make, genetically engineered supersoldiers, and hundreds of thousands of plain folks just hanging on by a thread to the sputtering engine that was once the all-powerful American economy...

November 12, 2021: My name is Logan Cale - though whoever finds this material will undoubtedly know me better as Eyes Only. In the years after the Pulse struck, greed, corruption, and cruelty exploded on a scale I never before imagined possible. Something had to be done.

I began working as an investigative journalist to expose the truth, but the truth brought a lot of enemies out of the woodwork. So I went undercover, and EYES ONLY was born. For years, with the help of a lot of good people, we've uncovered many wrongs and made them right. No matter what the dangers, this work needs to survive, and continue... especially some of the more explosive facts still need to be revealed. Facts concerning the Grand Coulee massacre, the secret government program known as The Phoenix Project, and the Conclave's breeding program, to name but a few.

Putting these documents together in one place poses a big risk - not just to the corrupt, but to the innocent as well. Yet the chance that these truths might remain unspoken is an even bigger risk.

People may die, but the truth must live on.

Dark Angel - Die geheimnisvolle Jessica Alba (Space View Powerfrauen)

by Christian Lukas 

Language: German
Magazine: 48 pages
Publisher: Heel (July 2002)
ISBN: 3898801004
Dimensions: 28.4 x 21 x 0.7 cm

Die von James Cameron ("Titanic", "Terminator 2 und 3") erdachte Sci-Fi- und Actionserie "Dark Angel" hat sich für den TV-Sender Vox als Glücksfall herausgestellt. Seit dem sensationellen Start im Januar 2002 (auf RTL: 3,31 Millionen Zuschauer) schalten inzwischen 1,5 Millionen Zuschauer regelmäßig ein, um mit zu verfolgen, wie die genmanipulierte Superfrau Max in einer düsteren Zukunft für das Gute kämpft. Das neue Science-Fiction-Format konnte sich in unglaublich kurzer Zeit etablieren und eine stetig wachsende Fangemeinde aufbauen. Mit der Hauptprotagonistin Jessica Alba als geheimnisvolle Schönheit Max wurde außerdem eine junge Darstellerin engagiert, die das männliche und das weibliche Publikum gleichermaßen zu begeistern versteht und innerhalb weniger Wochen zum Shooting-Star und neuen Sexsymbol aufstieg. Erfolgsregisseur und Produzent James Cameron gelang es, spannende und gut gemachte Fernsehunterhaltung zu kreieren, die vor allem bei dem konsumfreudigen Publikum punktet. So wird Jessica Alba schon seit letztem Jahr für L'Oréal Paris als Botschafterin eingesetzt. Denn sie ist nicht nur eine begabte Schauspielerin, sondern auch noch Trendsetterin in Sachen Beauty. Gründe genug, um neben "Buffy" (bislang über 35.000 verkaufte Exemplare unserer Specials) als starke Serienheldin zu bestehen und in unserem neuen SPACE VIEW-Special die innovative Serie und besonders ihre wunderschöne Hauptdarstellerin vorzustellen.
